It is such an honor and privilege to receive this Award!!
I am very proud to have represented the Noble PRE Breed with our two special boys , Malcarat and Recargo PI and I will continue to help promote these phenomenal horses in the future. Thank you so much to USPRE for all
of your support... I will always cherish this! Click here to read more.

I’m feeling very proud! 8th Place in the CDIW Freestyle!!!

We couldn’t be more proud of Malcarat and his performance in Friday Night Stars under the lights.
We danced with our Freestyle in front of a super large crowd, even more special during the USPRE week. We held it together and had a clean test although tension was visible. I can’t wait for the next one!

We placed 8th with a 66-32% but forfeited it because I was late for the Award Ceremony!!! That won’t happen again, LOL!
Thank you Charlotte Bredahl fur helping us pull it together!
Thanks to Liam for all of his support before, during and after.

These beautiful photos depict a dream that came true, a memory captured forever by Susan Stickle.

Thanks again for all of the loving support from Liam Cuddy, couldn’t have done any of it without you! Click here to read more.

Both of our boys, Malcarat and Recargo PI took Reserve Champion and Champion in the COPA 2018 competition, which means both boys will be on the USPRE team for 2019!

Close to 25 riders declared for this year’s Copa, which is limited to the FEI levels only. However, in 2018, the majority of those who were able to meet the requirements of the contest did so in the most demanding levels and divisions in the sport. This year, five of our top finishers were riding the Grand Prix, three in the Adult Division, and two in the Youth Grand Prix division. Furthermore, most scores for these riders were earned in the International shows, with very competitive marks!

Liam and I want to thank Sarah Gill D’Orazio, Michele Gougeon and Colleen O'connor-Dzik for this gorgeous gift!

This beautiful surprise Portrait is of Bodion, owned by Michele and Retador, owned by Sarah. We imported both of these wonderful Horses from Spain.
Both of the them work with Colleen, their wonderful trainer.I am so touched by this, it will have pride of place in our home, thanks you lady’s I love it !

RISING STARS at Dressage Under The Oaks!

We are very proud of our 4 wonderful PRE’s that competed this weekend. Lechino and I competed for the first time together . We made our way down the center line in the Grand Prix and knocked out a super scores of 67.6% and 69.2% , making our first qualifying score for the Championships. I am so fortunate and grateful to have him as my new partner, adding to my other fabulous mounts!
Rondeno SS ll also competed for the very first time . We competed in Third Level Test 1 and 3. He won his classes both days with 66% and 68%. I’m thrilled with how he handled everything!
Recargo competed in PSG and I1. He took second on Saturday with 64.9% and won the Intermediare 1 on Sunday with 63.97% ( still getting a little distracted at times)
And Malcarat is growing with every performance. He scored 68.2% and 70.65 % winning the FEI High Point for the whole competition, I’m feeling a little proud...
A huge thanks to Juanita Ferrusquia who groomed and braided all the horses for me, they were all beautifully turned out.
If it wasn’t for my unsung Hero, Liam Cuddy, I could never have managed 4 rides each day in the summer heat. He took care of everything else for me, and tended to all of our needs , Horses and humans, even on Father’s Day! I really appreciate you, THANK YOU!!!

And to our Sponsors, I really feel that your products speak for themselves with how well our horses look and perform, Thanks again for your support!

Mac Rider Becomes A Sponsor!
I am so impressed with my new saddles, I just want to share my experience...
Our 2 PRE Grand Prix Horses, Malcarat and Lechino are now fully fitted into there new MacRider Challenge saddles.
I have been admiring the fantastic quality of these saddles from the ground for the past two years.
While searching for a saddle for Lechino , I had the opportunity to ride in one. Let me tell you that in my opinion, , I haven’t sat in a better saddle than this. Not only top quality but the difference in both my Horses movement is absolutely dramatic. Both my horses are swinging behind the saddle which has not happened before. The freedom of the shoulder has released the tension held at the withers , both Horses are now reaching out and down and snorting with it!
But what good is a saddle without the proper fit. I have not to this day experienced such superb service than form Ann Sanders, Fit Right Saddles. Her knowledge and expertise is so apparent, she is a Master!
I’m so thrilled that I’m am this fortunate to have Henriette from Mac Rider and Ann on my team. It’s been an absolute pleasure!

NupaFeed Becomes A Sponsor!

We are absolutely delighted to announce that Nupafeed USA is now supporting us as a Sponsor.
We are thrilled to receive this Sponsorship. Nutrition is a vital component for every Athlete, equine and human.

After realizing the benefit of Nupafeed Magnesium, I was already sold on the product.
If you receive comments in competition such as ‘Too much Tension’, this is your product.
Our PRE’s are over achievers, which often converts into tension.

It makes sense to me that if you can relax the muscle, the mind can relax, Malcarat is a fine example.
This product has already made a difference in our performance.

As the USDF Competition Year comes to close for us at the Regional Championships, I am very happy to report that both Malcarat and Recargo PI did us very proud.
It was a very rainy start to the show, all classes were cancelled on Thursday.
With muddy and rainy conditions on Friday both of our boys took Fourth place in their warm up class, Grand Prix , 67.5% and PSG , 63.8%.
Malcarat went on to place 8th, 64% in the Grand Prix Championships with 22 starters. We had a beautiful ride with a couple of expensive mistakes.
Recargo did his first FEI Championship class, PSG, after only a few outings at this level. Our 8 year old PRE, imported by us a couple of years ago, finished 16th in a field of 37, with 65.52% with a couple of costly mistakes. Both classes were extremely competitive, our boys represented the PRE's very well.
Thank you to all of our supporters/friends and to our staff who take care of everything in our absence.
A special thanks as always to our Sponsors, NEWPORT HAY OF OCALA and CUSTOM SADDLERY, our horses Condition and performance speaks volumes for your products. #USPRE

We are absolutely delighted to announce that we have received a wonderful Sponsorship from CHOICE OF CHAMPIONS!!!

Jacqueline Cuddy: USPRE Dressage Team Member Continues to Improve in 2017
This past winter, USPRE Copa Champion and USPRE DressageTeam member Jacqueline Cuddy debuted her top-scoring national-level Grand Prix PRE Malcarat in the demanding International rings at Global Dressage. The pair are competing for Great Britain. With consistent scores in the mid-60s, the crowd-pleasing pair went home with many lessons learned. The experience in the big ring and continued top training has paid off in outstanding scores this spring and summer in the national show circuit in Florida. In April, at the Cinco de Mayo Dressage show, Jacqueline and Malcarat scored 71.6% in the Grand Prix and over 68% in the Special. In June at the Sun Coast Sunburn Classic II, the pair brought home a record-topping 75.5% at the Grand Prix, from judge Fran Dearing-Kehr!

Jacqueline is clearly focussed on the next International season, and bringing her lovely, talented Malcarat back to Wellington with winning on her mind!....Click Here To Read More!
